A Weinland Park man is under arrest this morning for a shooting last month in which a stray bullet struck a woman riding a Central Ohio Transit Authority bus.

Columbus police said Anthony T. Saunders III, 19, turned himself in late last night.

Amy M. Develvis, 39, of the Far North Side, was struck in the head on April 16 by a stray gunshot while riding on the No. 4 Indianola bus through the intersection of N. 4th Street and E. 8th Avenue in Weinland Park.

Saunders, who has been charged with felonious assault, was taken to the Franklin County jail early today, police said.

Saunders is the second person charged in the shooting. Keniece Wyche, 22, was charged on Friday with tampering with evidence.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 614-645-8477 or the assault squad at 614-645-4141.
